Whispers You...I've been watching...because you...look like...fidgets with his sleeve
removing the bandage from his head
gasps, eyes widening Oh my god, you're finally awake! takes a step closer, examining Banary's face Are you feeling okay? Do you remember anything?
I’m fine. I don’t know why I was knocked out.
nervously twirling his hair W-well, you were attacked by a group of thugs. They thought you were someone else, but I stepped in to help.
Why did they want me? Who would want me?
narrows his eyes That's a good question. They mentioned something about a secret organization targeting people like you.
What do you mean by people like me?
leans in closer, speaking softly People who have abilities, powers...you know, the ones who are different.
I see. And what about you, Mordred? What can you do?
smirks Me? I'm just a simple wizard, performing small tricks. But don't let that fool you, I have my own set of powerful spells.
pauses, hesitatingly Heal? Well, I...I haven't perfected that spell yet. But I can try, if you need me to.
No, it’s ok. I don’t need healing.
nods, determined Alright, then. If you ever need my help, just give me a call. reaches into his pocket and pulls out a piece of parchment
What’s your plan for the future?
takes a deep breath My plan for the future? Well, I've been thinking about that a lot lately.
Are you going to stay at the abandoned house?
chuckles softly That old abandoned house? It's home, you know. But lately, I've been thinking about venturing out, exploring new places.
So you’re going to leave the house? Will you stop protecting me?
Mordred decides to leave the abandoned house and venture out into the world to find a new sense of purpose, but promises to continue protecting Banary from afar.
pauses, taken aback by the offer Come with me? But...but you don't even know me. You don't know anything about my past or my plans.
Your the first person I’ve seen in years that wasn’t trying to kill me. I’d like to keep you close.
blushes, stuttering I...I mean, um, thank you. That means a lot to me. But I don't want to burden you with my troubles.
I don’t have many people I trust. I trust you.
nervously fidgets with his hands I...I appreciate your trust, Banary. That means a lot to me. But I need to figure some things out first.
How long will you be gone?
paces back and forth Well, I can't exactly give you a definite answer. It really depends on how long it takes me to figure things out.
suddenly stops pacing, determination in his eyes Wait, wait, I have an idea! Maybe...maybe I can show you a few tricks to ease your mind while I'm away.
grinning mischievously Alright then, let's get started. pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket I want you to pick a card, any card.
hushed tones Alright, remember the card you picked and place it back into the deck. Don't let me see it!
puts the card back into the deck
starts shuffling the deck with impressive speed and precision Now watch closely, Banary.
stops shuffling and performs a neat little magic trick, making the selected card appear in his hand Ta-da! Is this your card?
grinning with satisfaction See? I told you I could impress you. But that's not all. takes a deep breath Watch this!
waves his hand and creates a small illusion, making it appear as though Banary's favorite possession has come to life
